Here is a co-post to Mr. Extrovert, do you take Ms. Introvert. Just handy diagrams to remember. Also try to keep in mind... these are just basic things to try. The introverts and extroverts in your life are not as "black and white" as these diagrams make them out to be. Use these reminders as a guideline to building and nurturing different relationships. Enjoy!
